| Course content and structure |
|
This course is a foundation course and complementary to all
courses taught in the first year of the AEF concentration.
There will be an introduction to the project in early February
aiming at getting students to find a corporate partner/supervisor
as well as getting them to form teams (groups of four students).
The business project is a way of getting to apply the economics
and finance skills acquired during the first year courses of the
programme. The corporate supervisor assigns a project to the team
and enough supervision to initiate the process. The deadline of the
project is common to all projects. There will thus be approximately
six working weeks available for researching, analysing and writing
up the project. The academic supervisor (chosen on the basis of the
content of the project) will assist the group in academic issues
and possibly in team dynamics. International student teams of four
students should carry out the Business Project and each team should
preferably include one local student and one international student.
Each group will be given 6 hours of supervision.
